Benefits of Lasers over Conventional Surgery:

  • Less Blood: Lasers have an ability to seal blood vessels thereby achieving hemostasis
  • Less Swelling: Lasers seal lymphatic vessels, so decrease post-surgical swelling
  • Less Pain: They seal nerve fibers thereby reducing operative and post-operative pain
  • Minimally Invasive: Reduces mechanical trauma to tissue
  • Less scarring and greater precision: Because of the monochromic coherence qualities (single wavelength with all light waves aimed in a single direction (collimated) and all in phase with each other)
  • Anti-bacterial: Reduces bacterial counts thereby promoting predictable healing with minimal post operative inflammation
